Tips from the community

Johannesburg Pride: TBA With over 30 years of advocacy, Johannesburg Pride has grown to become the most established and well-attended Pride event in South Africa. Adopting a bigger cause in 2019, Johannesburg Pride created Pride of Africa: a unified platform and voice for a diverse community, introducing a lifestyle conference and youth shelter. The Pride village will be set up on Rivonia Road, between Sandton Drive and West Str, Sandton. The march will leave from the assembly point and move en-route through the Sandton CBD. If you’re not ready to let the party die after Pride, don’t forget to check out Afropunk: one of our favorite black festivals in South Africa.

Jacarandas in Joburg kinda sounds like some sweet indie band (we’d definitely listen to them) but alas, it’s a jacaranda tree sprawl in the city’s Pretoria suburb. Just 45 minutes from the city’s center, these suburban streets are a whole other world filled with lilac-colored beauties. It’s estimated that 17% of the trees in the area are jacarandas, which comes out to approximately 70,000 trees! It’s pretty ethereal when you see ‘em all from a viewpoint like Four Seasons The Westcliff, where they have a “jacaranda cocktail hour” and serve up fancy shmancy drinkable creations.
